Route 35 Tolls Back On Track

WEST VIRGINIA....
Plans to charge tolls for upgrading U.S. Route 35 are back on track following a ruling by West Virginia's Supreme Court which barred the Mason County Commission from reversing its initial September approval. The Commission voted 2-1 on November 10th to rescind its endorsement. County officials argued the original endorsement was based on incomplete and misleading representations by state officials. Justices ruled that the state Parkways Authority can proceed with public hearings for setting toll rates and issuing bonds to finance expanding a 14.6-mile section to four lanes. The Supreme Court says Mason County commissioners had no authority for that second vote.
